Process

Our 5 Step Process to Solving Your Waste Problems

1

Facilities Review

The first step in the iSustian process is an in-person review of your business’ facilities. Drawing upon decades of experience in the recycling industry, our team of experts will evaluate your buildings and equipment to determine your current waste-handling capabilities and what might be needed to enhance them.

2

Processes Documentation

Next, our team focuses their attention on your current waste disposal processes. We review and document every step of the process: from who is responsible, to how it moves and where it goes.

3

Waste Analysis

Recycling has evolved, so your waste stream can too. After reviewing your current facilities and processes, iSustain takes a look at the types of waste your business is generating and the options that are available for recycling. There is a strong possibility that much of it can be recycled.

4

Financial Assessment

These days, “going green” doesn’t mean spending a lot of money and seeing no return. In fact, a zero-waste approach can actually save you money. Following our assessment of your operation, iSustain will review your total waste stream costs, including labor, fees, and the incremental costs associated with generating more waste – and identify key areas where costs can be reserved. We will present our findings in a straightforward report you can evaluate.

5

Proposal Presentation

At iSustain, our goal is to develop creative recycling solutions that adapt to an ever-changing world. Following our audit of your business’ waste management practices, we will develop a custom, data-driven proposal aimed at reducing the amount you spend on waste removal, diverting as much waste as possible from landfills, and improving your sustainability objectives.

Technology

Always Leveraging the Latest Advancements in Recycling

Mechanical Recycling

Mechanical Recycling

Tried and true. Mechanical recycling is the “traditional” method of recycling: plastics are ground, cleaned, separated, dried, and compounded to produce new material.

Advanced Recycling

Advanced Recycling

Through advances in technology, more plastics than ever are able to be recycled. Utilizing advanced chemical recycling methods, we are able to reduce many plastic products back to their original molecular form. This method produces near-virgin quality plastics resins, thus greatly expanding its life cycle.

The Ultimate Goal

A Circular Economy

What is the Circular Economy?

In our current economy, we take materials from the Earth, make products from them, and eventually throw them away as waste – the process is linear. In a circular economy, by contrast, we stop waste from being produced in the first place.


The circular economy is based on three principles, driven by design:
  1. Eliminate waste and pollution

  2. Circulate products and materials (at their highest value)

  3. Regenerate nature


It is underpinned by a transition to renewable energy and materials. A circular economy decouples economic activity from the consumption of finite resources on our earth.
